Quickie

Reading Eugene Peterson...the below is lightly paraphrased:
"We don't get Jesus on our terms. Jesus and the salvation He embodies are not consumer items. Jesus provides both context and content for our salvation. None of us provides the content for our own salvation; it is given to us. Jesus gives it to us."

This reminded me of Ephesians 2:8 & 9:
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God - not because of works, lest any man should boast.

There's a lot of thoughts you can derive from this. I need to go to bed so I won't go any deeper. Something good to think about though.
